Copy a changing file with File.Copy

I'm writing some sort of backup tool that has to copy all the files in a directory. Now I'm using C#'s File.Copy(String, String, Boolean) method. But another application (which I can't change) simultaneously writes to the files in that directory.

So now I wonder if it is possible that a file gets changed halfway the copying process creating a corrupt backup file?

Thanks

No, it is not. Underlying file system will make sure this is not happening.
